Not too much left on those blocks.  Not really surprising what's happening there.  That one house on Jackson behind Vista Brooklyn looks like an interesting holdout. 

I'm interested in the status of that parcel on the river between the YMCA and Haskell.  Seems like with this market that site would be in play.

Read in another article that Related Group is currently searching for possible riverfront properties downtown to build condos after the success they had with Azure in Jax Beach. That site seems like it could be a candidate.

Seems more important than ever to get that Brooklyn Skyway station up and running.

I asked.

Still in their plans.

But no timetable.

Would legit use the Skyway three times a week if they'd open this station.

Any idea of what's the hold up? Implementation seems to be a real struggle.

Lol unless the plan is to dramatically scale up the size of their desired rolling stock, the U2C will be a Covid petri dish if the virus is here to stay with us.

JTA has issued an RFP for Skyway Vehicle Rehabilitation, and as part of that there's a map showing the location of the Brooklyn station as "Train Removal Location":



So my guess would be that it's been delayed for that. But if that's true then we're looking at like, two years to be able to actually build the station, unless they plan to build it during this time somehow.
